Come get your hands dirty in the medicinal herb garden!  Many gardeners grow medicinal herbs, but hesitate when it comes time to dig up the roots.  Let “Farmden”er Nicole Orens-Williams and north fork herbalist April Alexander show how to respectfully harvest and prepare medicinal roots to be used as medicine.  Roots discussed will include ashwaghanda, echinacea, valerian, marshmallow, and elecampane. Participants will get to harvest, clean, and prepare roots into an herbal remedy to take home.
